Yep. That's one of the problems with having things be historically accurate - the more accurate the game gets the less realistic the play becomes.

Working on my Ship Names mod for SH3 Commander I speculated that it might be possible to recreate every single convoy, with the real ships in their historic positions. Then all an enterprising player would have to do is look up the convoy and know where it would be on what date, and exactly which ships to shoot at for maximum results. More accuracy, less realism.

Fun, in a headache-inducing kind of way.
